The First Free Will Baptist Church of Poteau (FFWBC) excitedly extends a special invitation for you to join us as we praise God for these 69 years of ministry in our community. At FFWBC, we embrace those roots planted so long ago. The Homecoming Celebration will be November 13 at 10:30 a.m. followed by a fellowship luncheon in the Activity Building.
We are blessed to have a rich heritage of men and women who were impacted by our church and serve God faithfully in their local churches all over the U.S. Johnny and Barbara Bilby are an example of the kind of people God has used to faithfully serve his church. Johnny came to Poteau to play baseball at Carl Albert from 1967-1969. While he was here he attended FFWBC and met his wife Barbara. Barbara grew up in the church, and her parents, Alfred and Vaneila Clark, were long time members. Johnny currently pastors Allen Free Will Baptist Church in Sapulpa, OK where he has served for thirty-six years. We are happy to welcome Johnny and Barbara back home and Johnny will serve as our guest preacher for the day.
Our desire is to glorify God through Jesus Christ in our celebration. In this regard, our worship will be enriched by your participation, since you are part of God’s ministry at FFWBC over the years. We would love to have you join us in praising the Lord for all that he has done and is going to do in the future at FFWBC.
